🩸 People with #AF are inadequately anticoagulated, largely related to MD hesitancy
🩸#Bleeding risk prediction tools have modest performance
🩸Bleeding risk iproportional to stroke risk, net benefit favours #antocoagulation

🩸Few reasons to withhold #OAC, even in frail, older adults
🩸Across spectrum of #bleeding risk in AF, #stroke risk is higher
🩸#DOACs preferred over warfarin in #nonvalvular #AF

1) Welcome to a new #accredited #tweetorial on managing #VTE at the extremes of weight & renal function. Free CE/#CME credit for following along with expert author @AryaRoopen from King’s Thrombosis Centre at King's College Hospital in London! Only the best for our learners!
2) When we think about "special populations" in #VTE, we think weight, age, and #cancer status. @aakonc already addressed the last of those (earn credit still at cardiometabolic-ce.com/antithrombotic…). Learn the rest here! Hello to @ProfMakris @bhwords @MiddeldorpS @fniainle @AliTaherMD
3) This educational program is intended for health care providers & is supported by a grant from Bristol Myers Squibb & its Alliance partner Pfizer, Inc. Faculty disclosures at cardiometabolic-ce.com/disclosures/. Credit for #physicians #physicianassociates #nurses #NPs #pharmacists
Don’t miss a new accredited #tweetorial launching TOMORROW here on @cardiomet_CE. #Emergencymedicine #thrombosis researcher @md_pollack will be discussing safe, effective management of selected patients with venous thromboembolism (#VTE) from the #emergencydepartment.
It used to be SOOO much more complicated, but since we entered the era of the #DOACs, #lifeisgood! #Physicians #nurses #pharamcists all work together to make it happen, and all can earn CE/#CME here! @AlexSpyropoul @ScottKaatz @RenatoDLopes1 @GenoMerli @aakonc @vic_tapson

If a woman loses more than 80ml of blood in one period, the bleeding is heavy. Heavy periods usually often come with blood clots.
Although methods of quantifying the exact amount of blood loss are not usually accurate, most women know when their period is heavy.
